Description
„Avdives, khetanes” (translated as „Today, together”) aims to strengthen and further develop services addressed primarily to Roma children in Belin commune and to ensure a constructive transfer of best practices and know-how in integrated social interventions to Ferentari neighbourhood in Bucharest. Multiple discrimination, low SES and a lack of perspective characterize the two communities; the main differences resides in their lifestyle. Consequently, the project’s main objective is to increase inclusion and develop the premises for a better quality of life for vulnerable groups in the two communities. Thus we will develop and offer educational, health and employment services, trainings in Roma rights, advocacy, inclusion etc. and an empowering and anti-discrimination cultural program. In the end, 300 vulnerable children will benefit from education and health services, 350 vulnerable adults will benefit from health and employment services, 400 Roma persons will participate in the cultural program, 20 teachers will be trained in experiential and inclusive pedagogy, 10 specialists will be trained on Roma inclusion, and 45 specialists and Roma leaders will be trained in advocacy. The interventions in Belin will be carried out by Amfiteatru Foundation (qualification program, non-formal educational program and specialist training) and the Belin Community Development Association (educational service, selection and maintenance of target group) and those in Ferentari by Amfiteatru Foundation (employment services and education, training program and training of specialists) and the Municipality of Sector 5 (health services, selection and maintenance of target group and contribution to activities). To conclude, the partnership will achieve an increase in the access of vulnerable persons to social services, a decrease in vulnerabilities and a higher degree of motivation, empowerment and better future perspectives for at least several hundred Roma persons.
